New curtains do at much for a
room as a new dress do a
average woman and the s
should be chosen tot man.' >e
same cruahties you demand a
dress. Price, beauty, durability and
purpose naturally influence your
choice of a new dress and these
same factors are. of prime impor
tance when you curtain your win-
dote.
First make up your mind what
you want your window and its cur-
tains to do. Privacy, control # of
light, a screen for an unsightly
view or a frame for a charming
view, ^atmosphere"—the purpose
of your curtains determines your
choice of fabric and the style of
die hanging.
If privacy is your object, either
glass curtains or Venetian blinds
aye essential. Since glass curtains
require the simplest kind of sew
ing, you can make them yourself
if you like.
Accuracy In measuring, cut
ting. bating and ' H ie
•illy requisite because tu at a-
al sewing is plain indeed, just
a simple running stitch if yon
make them by band or straight
stitching if yon do them on a
sewing machine.
Have all the necessary rods in
place and then take the measure-
• ments with a yard stick. -
Straight tailored glass curtains
2 aimed to secure privacy are
irred on a rod set inside the win
dow casing next to the glass. 'The
curtains arc made with an, inch
heading above the rod, inch hems
on both sides and a two inch hem
at the bottom. Over-draperies are
hung on rods attached to the cor
ners of the window trim.
Ruffled glass curtains are charm
ing in some types of houses and
can be tied back or hung straight.
To curtain a French aoor place
rods just above and below the
panes on the door. Make an inch
heading at both top and bottom of
curtain and stretch taut.
The over-draperies can do much
to create the kind of atmosphere
you want to achieve in your room.
A gay room, a restful room, a dig*
nified room—any of these effects
can be accomplished by the choice
of draperies.
So study your needs and the ef
fect you want to achieve and then
shop carefully.

In Ihe garden, weeding must be
continued. Wire grass and weeds
of every sort should be conscien
tiously watched for and ripped out
of beds and borders before seed
heads start to form. If you let
these seeds form and ripen they
will withstand the winter and
germinate joyfully and prolifically
in the spring. If there’s danger of
dis irbing the roots of plants by
pulling the weed, cut off the top.

Slaughter Control Suspension.
Controls over how much live
stock can be slaughtered and
where the meat may be shipped
have been suspended by OPA, it
was announced by Chairman H.
N. Coleman of the local War
Price and Rationing Board.
This action was taken on the
recommendation of Secretary of
Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson;
and meat rationing is not affect
ed, he added.
"The OPA slaughter control
program was initiated to increase
the amount of livestock slaught
ered in federally inspected plants
by decreasing the amount of
slaughter in non-federaby in
spected plants,” Mr. Coleman ex
plained.
“There will be no immediate ef
fect on meat rationing,” Mr.
Coleman said, when asked whether
the suspension of the slaughtering
restrictions heralded the end of
the meat control program. He
added that there had been
marked improvement in civilian
meat supply during recent months
but that it is still not sufficient
to assure the best distribution
without the help of rationing.
